Sergio Llull was drafted six years ago, but the Spanish guard has yet to make the trek across the Atlantic to the NBA.
That may finally change next season, as ESPN's Marc Stein reports that according to a well-placed source, there is a "pretty decent" chance Llull will make the NBA jump in 2015-16.
The Houston Rockets own Llull's rights after buying them from the Denver Nuggets, who selected Llull in the second round (34th overall) of the 2009 NBA Draft.
The 27-year-old, pick-and-roll specialist is averaging 10 points, 5.1 assists, 1.7 rebounds and a steal in his eighth season with Real Madrid.
